About Me

I started hosting to help out other solo female travelers like myself, but everyone is welcome to request. One week away is best!

Please note that I can only host one guest at a time :)

I’m reactivating my Couchsurf account after covid and a few years living in Denver. I love this community and am excited to get back to hosting and surfing with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, making new friends, and traveling!!! The local perspective is always the best.

As I've changed and grown, so has my experience with Couchsurfing. I now really enjoy traveling slow and experiencing the everyday things in travel. When others visit me, I want to show them the best of my community in an authentic way. I find that I get so much out of helping someone with what I can around their home or cooking a meal or sharing a cup of tea with a traveler.

Interests

I have been a swimmer my whole life and love anything related to the ocean/water!

You can usually find me outdoors hiking, camping, biking, skiing whenever I have the chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a speech-language pathologist, I’ve helped children speak for the first time, created picture communication systems for people who are nonverbal, and even helped people speak louder or use their voice more effectively! Every day is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English or Spanish. Taught English while in Barcelona for a year.

Learn: Hoping to keep practicing my Spanish and Catalan. I like to learn some words in a new language wherever I am!

Share: Cooking

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know a million games in general: card games, board games, and party games.

Happy to help clean/help out in any way I can around the house!
